[Namron] Badges for the Children

[Isobel de Kirkbryde]

Great point, Mistress Alix!  I wonder about having the children learn to embroider their own badges as they earn them.  The badges might not be perfect, but the kids would "own" the work they had put into them.  It would be a great way to introduce them to another one of the Arts as well.  

I'm not good at teaching embroidery, do you know someone who would be?

What are we trying to teach our kids, how things were done in the middle ages or how they are done in our modern world? Would not hand embroidered badges be better? Think of the message being sent to our children.
